He was determined to be different, determined to be the one who broke new ground, to lead not follow. Born from a family of failures he would stand out, he would be remembered, but for what?
Then one day it came to him. Sitting in a working lunch he realised how much time was lost eating and swallowing. How much potential conversation and discussion was just eaten away by eating. That would be his breakthrough. If you could find a way to ingest food whilst still being able to talk he would have made the difference, he would have saved organisations billions in lost time and given people back more leisure opportunities.
He studied the physiology and anatomy of the body and realised it might be possible. If it was the Eustachian Tube would be the key.
On Tuesday the 12th August he was prepared to try it. He took his Ginsters from its wrapper and sat by the table. Lifting up his right hand he pushed the hair on the side of his head away and slowly shoved the pastry and its filling into his open orifice.
Oh yes they would remember him. He had broken the mould. He was ....... the 'pie in ear'.
